Under The Influence {Editing}

Nose Dive

Shawnie's POV

We got to Toronto super early in the morning. He met with a stylist at his condo, and picked out a suit, she even brought me a few pieces. After that, it was straight to business. We went to the Maple Leaf offices and they signed it over. He now officially owns the Toronto hockey team, the Maple Leafs. He signed papers, took pictures and met the team. It was fun, I can't complain. After that was all over, we went to eat and he showed me around Toronto.

We're currently headed to his moms house. I didn't know I was going to meet his family, he kind of sprung this up on me, so I kind of had to go through with this but I'm definitely going to express my feelings on this matter. I'm pissed.

"You know, I don't appreciate you throwing me into this. I'm unprepared and I don't think we're there yet." I say, breaking the silence.

"Babe, it's cool. They know we aren't together." He says

"What did you tell your mom?" I ask

"I told her how I felt about you." He says and I'm like you got to be kidding me.

"That's why she wants to meet me. Regardless if were together or not, you made it seem like we are." I say

"Yeah, so?"

"Nothing." Is all I say, then I look out the window.

"What?"

"Nothing. Let's just get this over with." I'm over this shit.

"Why do you have to say it like that?" He says with an attitude.

"Because I don't mean any disrespect, but I don't wanna meet your mom, or meet your family. I should have went with my first mind and not came at all."

"Why are you tripping?" He asks

"We're not together. I know you want to be with me but you're forcing me. And you can't be with someone if you don't know them." I say angrily

"What are you talking about?"

"Pull over." It's fucking hot in here. I'm freaking out a little, and I feel like I'm about to have a breakdown.

"What? No." He waves me off. "I'm not pulling over."

"PULL THE FUCKING CAR OVER!!!!" I yell,  reaching over to turn his wheel making the car swerve, almost hitting a car in the next lane.

"SHAWNIE!!" He pushes me away and steadies the car, "Fine, I'll pull over. What the hell is wrong with you?" He looks over at me like I'm crazy.

He pulls the car over and I get out. He yells after me but I ignore him. I need some air.

Aubrey gets out of the car and runs over to me, "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?" He yells, "YOU GET OUT OF THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY?"

"I need some air."

"Shawnie-get in the car please. You got me standing on the side of the—This is dangerous." He says pushing me towards the car.

"Stop." I push him off of me. "Just let me breathe for a minute." I say and he's clearly irritated but he stands there with me anyway.

"Babe, what's wrong?" He says calmly, putting his hands on my waist.

"I just-." I sigh dramatically. I'm frustrated, I'm confused. I don't know what's up with me. It's like I want to meet his family and I want him to share his life with me but then again, I'm fighting it because Chris has my heart and I feel like this shouldn't be happening. I have to get myself out of it. "I don't know. I'm just overwhelmed, Aubrey."
